@@theclimbingchefi set my alarm for about an hour before i have to leave to work, it gives me plenty of time to contemplate life in the morning or snooze several time till i have 5 mins before i gotta head out and i shoot out of bed at the speed of light to change and brush my teeth 😂
In many things like this, and in the army, even if you're going fast as greased lightning, a good hurry up like that isn't a legitimate request, it's words of encouragement. I remember disassembling and reassembling my m240b in about a minute and a half or a little more, and my nco said that to me as I was getting the bolt carrier back in the gun. To put it into perspective, he could do the task in just over a minute, even years removed from being a gunner in the marines. Before he joined the army, dude put in some fuckin work as a gunner with the marines, like I'm talking like 12 bodies. Dude was fuuucked, but holy shit he made us the best we could possibly be at the time. Miss that dude, I think he went to be a drill sergeant.
When I was a firefighter we were told we have to get gear on in under 1 minute. I would just throw my stuff on and zip/velcro everything and put on gloves in the truck. We also had air tanks in the seats so you just put the tank on while in the truck.
@@greglarson4253 whatever it takes to minimise the time between getting the call and being on site trying to stop the blaze and save people mate, i couldnt do it, the heat would fuck me right up by itself nevermind the kit used and what you guys need to do in it, respect mate, heroes, the lot of you
It was funny but it lowkey probably saved him too…sometime we slack off during times situations where as him saying hurry up he wouldn’t have moved as fast as he did otherwise, would’ve probably lost another second or two
I remember doing this in the academy on repeat, we dreaded it…not to mention we would try to go fast which was actually slower than being smooth. Eventually, the motion becomes second nature!
Smooth is fast fast is smooth only during fire 2 certification did I truly learn how true that motto was exerting your muscles to make fast movements is slower than muscle memory
I'm in the academy rn and it definitely is a lot more difficult than it looks. My best time rn is right around 1 minute and that's without air 😂😂😂 I got awhile to go 😂
@Anthony Mark because your oxygen tank is in the seat of the truck and is put on en route along with the rest of the breathing apparatus. it’s almost always put on en route to save time.
@@vuyongcenge1368 Your a pack is mounted in a bracket… in a seat… You put on your gear then get in. Nobody puts on their mask immediately, it would fog up and would only clear once you do go on air. Look, training is great. Being proud of being proficient is awesome. Donning your gear is a crucial thing that should never be hurried. Taking 30 extra seconds to ‘think’ about what’s going on might just save your life. Prepare that gear for the long haul (30 minutes of work).
Interesting to hear as someone with no experience in the matter. I would have assumed that would be one of the easier things but thinking about it they must be hella thick and I can definitely see how that’d be difficult
@@nickbob2003couple things makes it harder. That inner sleeve from the bunker coat (you see his thumbs going through the holes, makes a seal to protect skin with gloves on) can make it tighter, the gloves themselves are usually real tight around the wrist, again to keep everything sealed. The first glove, if they’re broken in, honestly not too bad. But getting the second on with that gloved hand can be a real pain in the ass
@Siren Head So, basically. You're more prone to mess up when you're rushing, therefore, Slow is smooth and smooth is fast (can't believe i left that type-o for so long 😶
@@robot1847 most FFs respond from the Station - who is going to mask and hood on the way to every report of a fire or fire alarm? And if you are dressing at the scene, you won't have your gear laid out like that.
@@Lukemasonmedia when doing my clinicals I did fire rides. All the firefighters are EMTs and they're pushing to get them all medics. Most calls are EMS, and I had no idea before I did my classes! Definitely made me wanna be a firefighter.
I reckon they should be paid the same as cops. It's not fair making them volunteer for such a constantly demanding and dangerous job while police get paid cozy for doing their duty, while firefighters charge into burning buildings to save people, and paramedics save countless lives per year and half of them get nothing for it, besides the "experience" ofcourse. What a great experience that is, seeing people die and putting yourself at risk. Not trying to shit on cops, the police are great and there for a reason, are often are very brave and put themselves in the line of danger for the public's benefit. They should be paid more if anything, I just don't see why it's fair that ambulance paramedics and firefighters have to volunteer for many years until they get a paid position. They deserve the same pay rate as any other public servant that saves lives, especially considering they often put their own lives at risks to save other people, How can you not pay men for doing such dangerous work for the sole benefit of saving lives. Pathetic really, I want more of my taxes going to firemen and ambulance staff.
@@Charlie-nc3cp agreed. i think there should be a whole slew of reforms to our services and infrastructure as a whole- but let’s not get into that lol. our firefighters deserve so much more!
@@Charlie-nc3cp There are whole departments of volunteer firefighters as well. They don't get paid, don't get stipends, but they can join organizations dedicated to providing benefits to volunteer firefighters, though not required.
I volunteer in my community and also volunteer at work. I get paid for it at work but not for my community. Still love helping others though. Volunteer departments struggle to have funds to even afford the necessary equipment most of the time.
On my first day of practice I was able to do all that in 1:30 mins ish, granted that was my first day and my last day but it gave me perspective on how good this is
And that my friends is how a real Super Hero goes from everyday good citizen to Amazing Human being. You will never ever have to ask if he is willing to risk his life to save yours.
I once met a guy who did the turnout time in 14 seconds flat. Overall mount-up time was 96 seconds, which includes getting gear in the engine compartment and getting into the truck, ready to roll out to the fire.
@@secretmuse420 there IS no other off duty t-shirt, only fire fighter tshirts. Imagine what their closets look like, oh wait they are mostly all divorced and living out of a duffel at the Motel 6 bud, no closet required.
That's the first thing that caught my attention!! I remember when he first went to prison for puffy... And he did a freestyle over the prison phone (HARD AF) if I'm not mistaken he was the first to rap over a prison phone and it be on an album plus be a HIT!!!
To all those that wonder what the hurry up was about, well here it is. JT and I work on the same Engine. We had both been pushing each other for a fast drill. 8 hours later this video finally happened. It’s easy to mess up on one thing and the personal best becomes a re-do. I knew he had it, and that’s just how we motivate each other. It’s not personal. JT is one of my best friends. This is a drill that is done for the academy as well as a class called Smoke Diver.
@@netecrivernetecassassins2945 I don’t know what it is but having friends in the gym who are actually supportive, and not assholes if you fail a rep give off tons of motivation. You basically feed off each other.
@@mujtabaqamar7194 Its not just "they get paid for It" thats a vocational job, only certain people would wish risk their life that way for $25/h. They'd run away from the building If they had no gear, but even with It, still a hell of a risk.
Thank your for your diligence and professionalism. It’s shit like this that really makes you appreciate just how important time is. When seconds are life and death help is minutes away.
Would this have been possible without proper education and discipline to the meaning of the job? No. This is what democracy consist of. Pick anywhere in this nation where it does not apply. Thank you to all persons, who apply their discipline.
This was just plain bad and sloppy. I wouldn't do entry with a dude who is more interested in speed than quality. At my Hall that's a fail in many ways.
His hood isn’t on correctly, it’s outside his collar at the back. They should be worrying less about doing it as quickly as possible and more about doing it right. An injured firefighter isn’t any use to anyone.
@@EzeTv813 however miniscule 2 seconds may seem to you, firefighters train for life and death scenarios. Sometimes even a mere second can mean the difference between life and death.
This guy was just plain Sloppy with a capitol S. Train like it's for real. I wouldn't make entry with a guy who doesn't even know how to put on his bunker gear properly.
I think I took a full minute this morning to realize that I had put my left arm through the right sleeve. I was wondering why I couldn't find a sleeve with my right arm.
Another props to my boy JT! This is truly impressive but he is a hell of a fireman and a paramedic as well! He completed Smoke Diver and paramedic in the first 3 years of his career. If you don’t push people to their potential, how will they ever believe that they can? It’s a pleasure working with JT every shift. We have a lot of fun. Mostly talk trash though to each other. 😂😂😂
If I put my gear on like that in a drill my captain would be laughing at me and have me do it again until it was right. Sloppy crap like that may pass at your Hall but not at mine.
